With a Maya you will never get a Mexican. Mexicans are mostly fully Mayan.

That's false, by the time Spaniards came to Mexico the Mayan civilization had fallen and they were mainly concentrated in the most Southern states and Guatemala. The native power of the time were the Aztecs (when Spaniards came). Also, Mexico did their own genetic tests and only 10% is primarily Amerindian; 70% is mixed, 18% is of European descent and 2% are listed as other.

Also, Meagan Fox is not a good example as she's not even 50% Native American. She once said in an interview that she has little Native American blood in her, so one of her parents is probably not even half Native American either? She was talking in regards to playing a Native American, she said it would be a bit of a stretch, but that if Jake Gyllenhaal could play a prince of Persia why wouldn't she be able to play a Native American.

Unless you have any sort of data that backs up the statement that the only reason Mexico has lower unemployment is because they have shipped all theunemployed to the US, then this claim needs to die right now. Just becaue you think it's true does not make it so, and repeating something you made up over and over again does not make it true either.

This link shows Mexico's unemployment rate by year since 1980. Mexico Unemployment rate - Economy It also contains a lot of other data on world nations. Here are a few examples:

GDP Real Growth Rate
Mexico: 5.5%
United States: 2.8%

Public Debt as a % of GDP
US: 58.9%
Mexico: 41.5%

% of Population below poverty line
Mexico: 18.2%
United States: 12.0%

External Debt
United States: $13.98 Trillion
Mexico: $212 Billion

So Mexico has faster economic growth, lower debt, lower unemployment, but contrary to your claim, has higher poverty levels. Mexico shipped all their unemployed poor to the United States, but still has more poor. Strange. The good news is that with the economic growth and relatively low debt compared to the US, Mexico's middle class is growing. In the long run, this will do more about illegal immigration than any number of walls built or terrible laws written by the US.

Economic growth rate (GDP) is ALWAYS faster in developing countries and slower in countries with well-developed economies. There is even a name for this that I learned in my intro to economics class but I forgot what it was.

So all you are proving is that Mexico is still a middle economy, developing country

So true! Let's face it: Mexico doesn't want its citizens who come over here undocumented. It's our problem, now. No wonder Mexico is doing better -- it doesn't have the uneducated, etc. dragging it down. No economy can get better without educated, hard working citizens coming together. Mexico knows that; unfortunately the US doesn't.

Yes -- imagine the problems that can be solved when you can dump 10-20% of your worst off people, the lowest subcultures of your country into another country and no longer have them as problems. Most poverty in the USA is being imported.

The birth rate in Mexico is declining. [/quote]

What? So instead of having 10 kids, they are now only having 8?
